I have a BA in Chinese from Middlebury College and have spent 8 months studying and working in China. I have experience teaching beginning and intermediate Chinese to middle and high school students in the US, as well as some experience teaching conversational English to Chinese speakers studying in the US. I'm primarily looking for students who want to learn beginning Chinese or students wanting to learn more advanced conversational English. However, I would also be interested in finding an exchange partner. I'm originally from Florida, USA and I'm studying translation through a grad program at SUNY Binghamton. I'm kind of lazy, but when something sparks my interest I go all out to pursue it. Hobbies include needlework (sewing, embroidery, needlepoint), cooking (I'd love to get some more Chinese cooking tips if possible), and swimming. I'm sincere, friendly, patient, passionate, and a little bit of a perfectionist. I look forward to making new friends and learning a lot!
